General Subdirectories in database:
- model_namelist_files: namelist.atmosphere files for the 30KM (CPEX_RERUN_CONTROL_30KM) and 15-3km (CPEX_RERUN) simulations, depicting it's setup. (NOTE: modified simulations and control members with YYYMMDDHH suffixes have the same setup as that of the CPEX_RERUN_CONTROL_30KM file, except using a different initialization time/file.)
- con_remap_deg_025: conservatively-remapped MPAS output on a 0.25 by 0.25 degree grid. 
- bary_remap_deg_025: barycentricly-remapped MPAS output on a 0.25 by 0.25 degree grid.
- bary_remap_deg_1: barycentricly-remapped MPAS output on a 0.25 by 0.25 degree grid.

Model Subdirectories in database (all are initialized on 9-24-2021 at 00z unless specified):
- CPEX_RERUN: 15-3KM control simulation, with inner mesh centered on the Atlantic ocean. 
- CPEX_RERUN_CONTROL_30KM: 30km control simulation
- CPEX_RERUN_CCKW_RM_ALL_30KM: 30km simulation with dampened CCKW dynamic and thermodynamic fields (U, V, T, q)
- CPEX_RERUN_CCKW_RM_30KM: 30km simulation with dampened CCKW dynamic fields (U, V)
- CPEX_RERUN_CCKW_DOUBLE_30KM_FIX: 30km simulation with amplified CCKW dynamic fields (U, V)

con_remap_deg_025 file types (prefixes): 
- deg_025_iso_budget_vars*: various dynamic, thermodynamic, and heating fields interpolated to 27 pressure levels.
- deg_025_sfc_diag*: various single level fields, including rainfall, radiation, and surface level fields. 
bary_remap_deg_025 file types:
- latlon_CSF_eq_025deg.nc: column saturation fraction (CSF) and it's components (TPW and saturated PW), constrained to equatorial latitudes.
- latlon_DCIN_eq_025deg_fixed_lev_top.nc: deep convective inhibition (DCIN) and it's two components. These two components are saturated moist entropy of the 800-750hPa layer, and the moist entropy of the boundary layer (850hPa to surface). Constrained to equatorial latitudes.
- latlon_ps_high.nc: surface pressure, constrained to equatorial latitudes. In this study, it used to define the near-surface pressure level. 
bary_remap_deg_1 file types:
- latlon_iso_qv_1deg.nc: water vapor mixing ratio, on a 1x1 degree grid globally, on pressure levels.
